I got up today around 10ish, everyone has left my dorm to go on treks etc. Which means people...that I'm going to get a whole bunch of randoms in who I'll either hit it off with or commence my notorious b****ing! I had breakfast this morning with a retro soundtrack from when I was 14 on a school trip to York...aah the memories are making me all misty-eyed. Pull yourself together Neil, yeah so the bar was playing "To the Faithful Departed" by the Cranberries. ...

Today I went down to the travel agent and picked up my bus ticket to Copacabana. I have the panoramic front of the bus seat upstairs apparently.

I then went to my fave, cheap Peruvian restaurant called "Don Pedrito"; I had soup..yeah with floating potatoes in it and aji de gallina (which is Peruvian chicken curry but a bit too much garlic). I never took my dad there as I d...

Also I'll try and study in the morning in the courtyard so there's no problems at night when I can sit in the bar with my fellow travellers playing s***head against the magnificent backdrop of the Cusco all lit-up! I then had a grea...

I got up around 9ish and checked out of my hotel and checked into a cheaper, quiet hostel next to my Spanish school. I'm doing one more week of classes and then leaving for Bolivia on Saturday. I chilled out in my hostel and studied my Spanish for a while, watched some tv and then went for a walk around the centre.
